differences are probed into briefly. The analysis of the contents of portfolio Management

INTRODUCTION
Trends in Portfolio Management Services of Axis, HDFC & ICICI Banks in India
The last three decades of 20th century witnessed the emergence of a number of issues that spared
debates and discussions among economists1. Financial sector is the major area of macro
economy that has received renewed focus in the recent areas. Within the broad ambit of the
financial sector, the banking sector has been the cynosure of academia.
The traditional face of banking is also undergoing change from that of mere intermediator to the
one of a provider of quick, cast, effective, and customer Centric services. Therefore, banking
sector is passing through a challenging, yet exciting, times and India is no exception to that rule.
By 1969, it had become evident that the commercial banking system did not satisfactory play its
role in the overall development of the nation. Funds coming from masses were being misused to
meet the vested interest of big industrialists and business men who controlled banks and used
these funds to build their own private empire. So, this lop sided pattern of credit disbursal and
the spate of banks failures during 1960’s forced the government to resort to nationalization of
banks2. Fourteen banks in 1969 with deposits of Rs. 50 crore and more were nationalized. In
June 1980, 6 more banks with deposits of more than Rs. 200 crore were nationalised. But with
the merger of New bank of India with Punjab National Bank on September 6, 1983, the number
of nationalised banks now stands at 27 out of which 8 are from State Bank of India and its group
(i.e. other state associated banks) and the rest 19 comprises other public sector banks.
The Indian Banking system progressed by leaps and bounds after nationalisaton3. Banking in
India recorded an unparallel achievement in spreading banking habit to rural and semi urban
areas.
Private sector banks are those banks in which majority of stake are hold by private individuals
and not by the government. Private sector banks came into existence to supplement the
performance of Public sector banks and serve the needs of the economy better. As the public
sector banks were merely in the hands of the government, banks had no incentive to make profits
and improve the financial health. Nationalized killed competition and stifled competition in
banking. Banks operated in regulatory environment with administered rate of interest structure,
quantitative restrictions on credit flows, high reserve requirements and significant proportion of
lend able resources going to the priority and government sectors. This resulted in low levels of
investment and growth, decline in productivity and erosion of profitability of banking sector.
These also took place rapid growth in deposit mobilisation by banks. As such, switching from
pure commercial pursuits to social commitments was the essence of era of nationalisation. But,
inspite of all these achievements, the baking sector performed poorly as regards their
productivity and efficiency.
The committee suggested that banks would have to minimize their risk and for this, banks should
not dependent only upon conventional sources of income. Rather they should try to shift towards
non traditional sources like PMS and off Balance Sheet Activities. Hence, recommendations of
the verma committee aimed at resource mobilisation by banks.
Portfolio Management Services (PMS) refer to the science and art of taking decisions
regarding investment policy and mix, aligning investments and objectives, asset allocation for
institutions and individuals, and balancing performance and risk. This specialized service offers
numerous customized investment strategies for capitalizing market opportunities.

provided by banks.

percent in 2008.in both the years the ratio of increase for other private sector banks under study

compound growth rate of PMS of HDFC Bank(10.69%) was found much higher as compared to
that of Axis bank (7.33%)
Of these, Insurance of HDFC Bank too continuously increased from Rs. 31043 lakh in 2005 to
Rs. 292206 lakh in 2010 and the compound growth of this component during 2005-10 was found
to be 22.28 percent which is higher than the other components of PMS of HDFC Bank.
Average annual percentage rate of change of Investments in India in case of HDFC Bank varied
between 46.74 percent in 2006 and by 61.60 percent in 2008. The compound growth rate of this

Real estate, another component of PMS varied between 78.89 percent in 2006 and by 81.88
percent in 2009. The compound growth rate of this component during 2005-10 was found to be
